Mini Drive-by

This home catches my eye every timeas it sits at a lovely angle on itslarge lot and is meticulously maintained.

I think it looks so cozy tucked into its little nook. If you click on thephoto you will see a matching garagein the back. So cute!

Slightly different, but a favoritething to see each time we use this road is right behind these trees...

I have to wonder about the history.How old is this?Who lived here at one time?There are stories all around us.Seeing places like this makemy curiousity bubble to thesurface. The time involved inthis stonework had to be fairlysignificant.

This is such a cool post, Becky. When we lived in State College, there was the ruins of an old log house just off a hiking path beside our development. The only thing left was the chimney, foundation and the outhouse. There was an old metal bedframe and some other junk visible. There used to be iron ore mines there and I suppose one of the workers lived there.

Great photos. Those old abandoned houses always set my imagination in motion.

By the way, it looks like Mikey is getting lots of work just through word of mouth, but I don't know if he passed along a suggestion that I had. You are such an avid picture taker, you might want to think about taking some before and after photos for him on some of the jobs. He could put them into an album and have something to show future customers:)

I can't imagine having this much property and am always in awe when I drive around up there. You can go to city hall and get the old records to find out who use to live in the older remains. Often if there is a family generation type business in town they know who lived where and when.Joyce
